YouTuber Pungja revealed the behind-the-scenes story of his own 33kg weight loss journey.

On the 27th, Pungja released a video titled "No Ads - 33KG Weight Loss: Honest Diet Process | This Is How I Lost It" on his YouTube channel 'Pungja TV'.

In the video, Pungja said, "The most important question is why you diet. This is the first time I'm sharing this." He added, "I started my diet in February 2025. Since it's July now, I've been dieting for about one year and five months."

Pungja explained, "Initially, I began dieting due to work and broadcasting commitments. I was invited to join a program that required physical activity, and they likely wanted me to lose weight. They asked if I could lose around 10kg to 15kg." He continued, "As an entertainer, dieting becomes unavoidable. Since my job is highly visible, if serious weight loss is needed, I decided I had to do it."

Pungja stated, "I had to lose weight quickly. I lost about 7kg in just one month. The heavier you are, the faster you tend to lose weight. When the program was canceled, I wondered if I really needed to diet this much. It was Hye-jin Han who encouraged me to continue, which is why I'm still dieting."

Notably, Pungja admitted to using injections such as Saxenda, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. He said, "I started with injection-based weight loss early on. The results were good, but there were side effects. I lost about 7kg thanks to them, but I no longer use them."

Pungja added, "After using injections, I experienced side effects including stomach nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and diarrhea. After stopping the injections, I continued losing weight through personal training and diet management."
